DONEGAL’S senior Ladies team were edged out in a tough game against Mayo today.
The home side eventually won out by 2-15 to 1-09, but the scoreline probably flattered the Mayo ladies in the encounter in Claremorris.
Donegal had started the game well, with the irrepressible Geraldine McLaughlin scoring a goal to give the visitors the lead.
But that was as good as it was going to get in the difficult conditions as Mayo came roaring back.
Mayo’s eight-time Allstar Cora Staunton scored 1-09 for her county.
Aileen Gilroy added 1-01 hosts including a brilliant second half goal.
Donegal lost goalkeeper and captain Roisin McCafferty to an early injury which was a serious blow.
